Do you ever think the stories you hear about great trading, and the gains produced, sound like luck? Do you ever wonder if there is a real method and philosophy behind the success stories? The concepts condensed into Trend Commandments: Trading for Exceptional Returns were gleaned from Michael Covel's 15 years of pulling back the curtain on great trend following traders. It is a one of a kind money making experience that forever lays to rest the notion that successful trading is akin to winning the lottery. Winning has a formula, as does losing. Covel nails both head on. Getting rich is a fight; make no mistake about it, but at least now with Trend Commandments you have a primer that allows you to crack the code of the winners.

One bite-size concept and illustration at a time, Covel shows how you can get ahead in an age of nonstop financial crisis and deepening instability. Winning means the right techniques, psychology, philosophy, and even skepticism--it’s all part of the learning, then earning process.

Trend Commandments delivers real moneymaking insights developed and cultivated from 15 years of behind-the-scenes research--intellectual access you can’t fake. It’s the most digestible and one-of-a-kind trend trading book ever written.

Reap the spoils when domestic and global markets crash......and find big waves to ride even when people aren’t panicking

Don’t waste time trying to predict the future......learn how to think and react to what is actually happening

Decipher the ‘noise’ in a sea of competing voices......let go of ‘value,’ mutual funds, the Buffett legend, and Goldline (to name a few)

Listen to the market. It always tells the truth......and the “price” is the only true trading reality you can trust

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

this book is just full to the brim(literally)of blank pages. On the pages that actually have content(which is minimal to say the least) is full of quotations from films and books. There is nothing of use in this book. I write reviews on Amazon not because I enjoy writing them but because I feel compelled to warn people or encourage people to use books. I have never felt so compelled to warn people not to spend their money on something as this book. Please; Don't buy this book. Don't say I didn't warn you....

I have read other books by Michael Covey and found them very useful but this is very disappointing. It doesnt flow, very shallow statements, not very logical, many blank pages and not at all helpful, a waste of time and money!

Sorry Michael.I just loved your first book, it was a mind blowing, impressive, recommendable book that for me personally made a lot of sense, and i would recommend it to every body - but this is nothing like it.Quantity, it is quite frustrating to read. This book is 241 pages and more the 30 of the is total blank and still there is full of empty spaces, and in the beginning of each of the 60 chapters in the book a hole page is used to some kind of quote - down to "real" 140 pages.Quality, there is nothing new here and nothing concrete - i would not recommend this to anybody. I find this book a waste my time and my money.Go buy Michael's book "trend following" instead.

Fundamentals in trading are, well, fundamentally wrong. If you are like me and spent time and money trying to figure out what earnings per ratios are and dividends and company reports, and then figuring out whether to buy or sell on this information, then read this book. I spent a long time trying to find a away into trading the markets. A few years back I found what I was looking for. Trend following. I could never understand why CNBC or Bloomberg reporters would say " buy this company or " weight of this company is ..." or watching Mad money and thinking whether this Jim guy is on crack, when if would say " this company is a steal at this price", then watching the Price tell a different story. Now I know. I have read many books on trend following. Nothing has changes, which is what one of the greatest traders of our time said, Jesse Livermoore, read his story, and then read Trend Commandments and see for yourself. Great traders do not need to be at the forefront, they have nothing to prove, they don't get asked onto talk shows often because they are not gurus or fortune tellers and predict the future. They don't make great tv for the 90% of people who are just following the crowd. Michael Covel has really made understanding trading very simplistic. The layout of this book is such that you can not get lost, you can take it a piece at a time and not get confused. You will not be disappointed. People love to over analyse and make the markets more complicated than they really are. Once you have read this book you will understand. Then have a read of Michaels other books. Be of open mind, the most hardest thing to understand sometimes, is the simplest of things. Greed and fear people greed and fear! topped with emotion and a bit of psychology. Its not that complicated people. one last thing READ THIS BOOK!
